proudly announce the winning of the prestigious
1998
CINE GOLDEN EAGLE AWARD
for
In the Shadow of Memory:
A Legacy of Lidice
A one-hour documentary film
about on-going struggles of children and grandchildren to come to grips
with Nazi horrors suffered by their elders. The film focuses on Jerri
Zbiral, the daughter of a survivor of the Nazi destruction of the Catholic
village of Lidice, Czechoslovakia. Even though Jerri was born after the
war, her mother's stories continue to have a profound effect on her life.
The 50th anniversary of the Lidice massacre provides a back-drop for Jerri
to speak with women who survived the ordeal, with German visitors
to the memorial ceremony and with others.
In the Shadow of Memory
is a compelling story that addresses emotional
issues that span generations. What do we tell children about personal
tragedies? How do we resolve grief, anger and long-standing hatreds? How
do we communicate across ethnic barriers?
